Tom Garfinkel, the Dolphins’ vice chairman, president, and CEO, expressed enthusiasm for the occasion, stating, “We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history, tradition and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fanbase” (AP News).
The Bernabéu Stadium, famously known as the home ground of Real Madrid, has recently undergone renovations that include a retractable field designed to accommodate American football. The Miami Dolphins, alongside the Chicago Bears, hold marketing rights in Spain as part of the NFL’s Global Markets Program. This initiative allows teams to engage in various promotional events and commercial partnerships in the region, paving the way for an exhilarating future for NFL fans in Spain.
